BREAKING: Two miami Dolphins superstars have been ruled out for Week 18’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
The Miami Dolphins are preparing for a Week 18 home game against the Buffalo Bills, with the winner taking home the AFC East divisional title and hosting a playoff game. According to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins will be without two of their top playmakers in this game.
Not having one of these players is tough but losing both is going to make things difficult. Raheem Mostert missed last week’s game due to injury and broke the franchise’s single-season rushing touchdowns record with 18 on the year. Jaylen Waddle has been one of the top second wide receiver options in the league and has posted over 1,000 receiving yards.
The Miami Dolphins have been dealing with a significant amount of injuries to the end of the regular season as Bradley Chubb is out for the remainder of the year, so you can understand their cautiousness with their playoff spot already clinched one way or another.
Is it still possible for the Miami Dolphins to win the AFC East divisional title?
Even though the Miami Dolphins have been hit by the injury bug, they are expected to keep this game tight as three-point home underdogs. The Dolphins must win this game because they are far more dangerous at home (7-1) than on the road (4-4). If they win this game, they will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, unless they face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.
In terms of this Week 18 game, this is a chance for redemption for the Miami Dolphins as they lost in Week 4 in Buffalo 48-20. This game is critical to their success as they do not want to enter the playoffs on a two-game losing streak. However, Buffalo is not a dominant team and there are issues with the Bills.
This Dolphins team should be able to win in Miami against a divisional opponent if they want to be considered legitimate threats in the playoffs. There is a chance this can also be an AFC Wild Card matchup if the cards fall a certain way so getting a win here is critical for the Dolphins.
